Eintracht Braunschweig triumphs dramatically against Fürth 3-2!

In a thrilling duel in the 2nd Bundesliga, Eintracht Braunschweig defeated SpVgg Greuther Fürth 3-2. This encounter, which took place on August 11, 2025, was Braunschweig's second win of the season and allowed the club to go into the league break undefeated. Sportschau reports that it was a big blow for Fürth, even though they initially took the lead with a goal from Felix Klaus in the 16th minute.

But the leadership didn't last long; Substitute Lukas Frenkert equalized in the 32nd minute. Just a few minutes later, in the 35th minute, Erencan Yardimci scored to give Braunschweig a 2-1 lead. Despite several corners and possession of the ball, the Fürth team were unable to set any accents. Until the 66th minute they had the advantage with 9:1 corners, but this advantage remained fruitless.

VAR creates tension

The video assistant also played a crucial role in this game. Kicker informed that a supposed equalizer from Fürth was not given due to an offside position. Felix Higl was finally able to put Braunschweig in trouble again in the 90th minute when he equalized to make it 2-2. But the joy only lasted for a short time; In stoppage time, Sebastian Polter converted a penalty kick and thus secured the narrow victory for Braunschweig.

Coach Backhaus praised his team's cleverness, while Fürth's coach Kleine denounced the unnecessary mistakes in defense. In the first 45 minutes Fürth was obviously inferior defensively; Braunschweig only allowed a few shots on goal from the guests. At the end of the game, defensive stability was crucial to the hosts' success.

Special occasion

Before the game, a club legend was remembered. Braunschweig performed with mourning flowers to honor Peter Kaack, who had died. Such moments are valuable in football; they strengthen the feeling of community and identification with the club.

However, both teams cannot rest for too long. On August 17th, Fürth will play in the DFB Cup against Blau-Weiß Lohne, while Braunschweig will play against VfB Stuttgart on August 26th. The direction for this season has been set - and the fans can hope for exciting duels.

On the subject of referee decisions, it should be noted that there have been 99 VAR interventions in the 2nd Bundesliga so far this season, 95 of which led to correct decisions, such as IG referee reports. Despite some discussions about the fairness of the VAR, the technology in this league seems to contribute to a fair game overall.
